Common Misconceptions: The road to hell is paved with good intentions

I have had my fair share of back stabbings in my short life… more than I would want to count. Given that I am typing… I can’t count and I too overweight to see my toes. It has been my experience that the road to hell is not paved with good intentions… it’s paved with people trying to steal my stuff. People trying to take my job… (get off it’s mine!) and people undermining me at every turn. People murdering other people and so on and so on. Where is the good intention in that I tell you! Sure, this saying has merit. Many a good deed does actually backfire and create hell for the intended. But most of the time my dear friends you find people are, as the great Nick Cave postulates, just no good. The good intentions people may have had usually end up in something that has small consequences even though sometimes it does not.
We live in a world where ambition rules over love, good taste is blinded by mass appeal and people like Ghandi are shot in the street. This world leaves a taste so foul in your mouth at times that you want to surgically remove your tongue so at least it can be clean. Sure, I am ranting and sure it’s late. But you know what I find myself shortchanged more often by people who mean me harm as opposed to people who’s heart is in the right place. I could labour this but you know what I think I made my point.
